Our Lady of Fatima
His Holiness Pope Pius XII, in
a recent radio address to the
people of Portugal, consecrated
the Church and the world to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary. This
address of the Holy Father was
on the occasion of the observance
of the silver jubilee of the Appari
tions at Fatima, and served to
center attention on the Shrine of
Our Lady of Fatima, sometimes
referred to as the "Portuguese
Lourdes”.
A new inspiration has been given
to the spread of devotion to the
Blessed Virgin, under the title of
Our Lady of Fatima^ because of
the prophecy predicting peace for
the world when “My Immaculate
Heart Shall Triumph”.
One of the three statues of
Our Lady of Fatima in the United
States is that pictured above,
which adorns St. Francis Xavier
Church, Brunswick, Ga., where
the Rev. Philip Hasson, S. M.,
is pastor. This hand-carved statue
was made in Portugal and brought
to this country about five years
ago. It is regarded as a master
ful work of art, and it is a source
of religious satisfaction to the
members of St. Francis Xavier
parish, many of whom are of
Portuguese extraction. It is an
annual custom for the Bishop of
the Diocese of Savannah-Atlanta
to bless the fishing fleet of the
Portuguese members of the parish
following a procession sponsored
by the Confraternity of Our Lady
of Fatima honoring Our Blessed
Mother under the title in which
she receives the devotion of the
people of Portugal and their
descendants.

BOOK REVIEWS
By W. L. SCHMIDT
THE WORLD’S GREAT
CATHOLIC LITERATURE
George N. Shuster, noted writer
and President of Hunter College,
has presented in this edition, The
World’s Great Catholic Literature
(The Macmillan Co., N. Y., $3.00)
a greater opportunity to Catholics
to familiarize themselves with
their own rich literary heritage.
And it is great. As proof: St. Au
gustine, Roger Bacon, St. Thomas
Aquinas, Erasmus, St. Thomas
Moore, Fenelon, Newman, Coven
try Patmore, and Chesterton, to
mention only a few. With a world
full of non-Catholic writings, .es
pecially today when royalties and
not literary excellence and' im
provement of morals are the goal,
the average person will doubt or
even be ignorant of the existence
of a Catholic Literature. It is
there’ strong, beautiful and
wholesome.
Mr. Shuster has chosen some
200 selections — none by living
authors — which reflect Catholic
thought and feeling upon human
life throughout nineteen centuries.
The selections are short, as the
scope of the work necessitates. No
anthology can be thorough and
comprehensive. It cannot present
even all the great writers, much
less all of their works. Its purpose
mainly is to give a taste, and leave
the reader to satisfy this taste
by delving further Into the works
of all the writers, or those for
whom he has a particular liking.
The 438 pages of the edition con
tain also some great non-Cath
olic writers, who have written in
praise of the Church, _‘s works,
or its members — Macaulay, Stev
enson and others. Many an enlight
ened and wholesome hour can be
spent being introduced to Catholic
literature by reading this timely
volume.
HIS HOLINESS
POPE PIUS XI
Biographies lend fullness to
reading, for in them — dispas
sionately and truthfully written—
one obtains insight to characters
unobtainable from the average
books. To Catholics, the biogra
phy of His Holiness Pope Pius XI,
by Monsignor R. Fontenelle (trans
lated by M. E. Fowler, The Sher
wood Press, Cleveland, $3.50) will
pay dividends in understanding
not only the person of' the Pope,
but also the dignity, the splendor
and the spiritual influence of the
Papacy. Achilli Ratti, predestined
from childhood, richly endowed
of body, mind and soul, climbed
the heights of the Alps and later
the heights of the Vatican from
whence his light penetrated hith
erto unknown chasms of the earth.
His genius was at once scholarly,
political and spiritual. Scholarly,
by reason of his mental acquire
ments; political by reason of the
many concordats he succeeded in
establishing, especially the one
with the Italian Government in
1929 which settled the ‘Roman
Question’; and spiritual, by reason
of his love of Christ and the
spreading of His teachings through
extension of the missions, the
spreading of Catholic Action, his
numerous canonizations, enclyci-
cals and other virtous achieve
ments.
Monsignor Fontenelle at times
would seem to write extremely
floridly, but anyone would attempt
the heights of floridity in an earth
ly language void of adequate terms
for expressing one's experiences in
witnessing the pomp and feeling
the awe of Rome as the Monsignor
did. One definite feeling the read
ers of this work will be left with
is a holy admiration of Pius XI’s
profoundest yearning for souls,
souls, souls, and his tireless ef
forts towards peace, peace, peace.
